Lice are insects that live in the scalp and are parasitic because they feed off human blood. They are not really dangerous, but, they can cause discomfort, and are contagious, especially if you lie in the same bed with a person who has lice, or use that person's comb. There are various ways to kill hair lice, but, some of those ways can be harmful when utilized for a long time. It is therefore best to rely on the so called lice removal home remedies rather than depend on lice shampoos that contain harsh chemicals. Here are suggested natural head lice treatments that a person with hair-lice should try:
Treatment A: Mayonnaise treatment
A safe lice treatment that is worth trying is this: apply generous amounts of mayonnaise on your kid's hair and scalp, then, proceed to covering the entire hair/scalp with a shower cap. You should then leave the mayonnaise and the cap overnight in order to kill hair lice. The next day, you should part your child's hair in sections, then, comb through the hair in order to remove dead lice, nits, and the mayonnaise. To end this treatment, you have to wash the hair with shampoo and conditioner and see to it that any excess mayonnaise and dead lice are successfully removed.
Treatment B: Coconut Oil treatment
Part of lice removal home remedies is coconut oil. After you shampoo your little angel's hair, you should pour a dollop of coconut oil on your palm, rub your palms together then massage the oil thoroughly on your little one's scalp. Coconut oil is one of the head lice treatments that is effective in suffocating lice. After applying the oil completely, the next step is to comb the hair with a metal comb for lice and oil removal. This safe lice treatment is best performed on a daily basis until not even a single head louse is found.
Treatment C: White Vinegar treatment
The use of white vinegar is also included in the list of lice removal home remedies that are worth trying. Just like coconut oil, vinegar should be used daily to get your desired results. It is best that you first make the white vinegar lukewarm, then, use that vinegar as a hair shampoo. You'll notice that 'vinegar shampoo' can really kill hair lice quickly. Of course, you have to comb out the hair and remove lice with the use of a metal comb after shampooing. Utilizing this recommended safe lice treatment usually brings about positive results in just a few days after the starting treatment.
Though chemical based head lice treatments really work, it is still better and safer to rely on natural lice removal home remedies as they don't contain harmful chemicals, and, they are usually available inside your home, thus, you need not shell out that much just to start to kill hair lice. Remember this: if you want to get rid of hair-lice effectively and safely, always opt for natural treatments or home remedies over medicated lice shampoos, pesticides, and so on.
